From the Minneapolis Star Tribune: A northwestern Minnesota farmer who made news when he got pummeled by
a deer won't be charged with shooting the buck out of season.
A conservation officer who investigated the incident sent a report to the county attorney for review, per standard procedure.
Norman County Attorney James Brue told the Grand Forks Herald ( http://bit.ly/OsaNwx) with a chuckle that it was a justifiable shooting, so Mark Christianson won't be charged.
The 66-year-old says he was heading out to spray soybeans on his farm
near Fertile when the buck attacked Aug. 2. His wife says the black and
blue marks are gone, but he's still sore.
It's not clear why the deer attacked. It wasn't mating season, and
lab tests found no signs of any diseases that might have explained its
erratic behavior. http://www.startribune.com/local/167911535.html
Damn deer. Probably snorted or smoked crack before the attack and the farmer had no choice but to kill the deer. Glad to see the cops found the shooting justified- see another case of concealed carry working.
